Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my chimney need to be cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends an annual chimney inspection and cleaning. Even if you don’t use your fireplace frequently, issues like animal nests, debris, and moisture can create blockages. For those who use their wood-burning fireplace regularly, an annual sweep is a critical safety measure to remove flammable creosote buildup. Our professional chimney cleaning service ensures your system is safe and ready for use, preventing dangerous chimney fires and ensuring proper ventilation. Regular maintenance is the key to both safety and peace of mind for your home.
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a highly flammable, tar-like substance that is a natural byproduct of burning wood. As smoke travels up your chimney, it cools and condenses, depositing creosote on the inner walls of the flue. In its most hazardous form, it becomes a thick, glazed coating. This buildup is the primary cause of chimney fires, which can be incredibly destructive. Our professional creosote removal service utilizes specialized brushes and tools to thoroughly scrub away all stages of creosote, significantly reducing your risk and making your fireplace safe to enjoy.
What does a professional chimney cleaning service include?
Our comprehensive chimney cleaning service starts with a thorough visual inspection of the accessible parts of your chimney. We prepare the area around your fireplace with drop cloths to ensure your home stays perfectly clean. Our certified technicians then use specialized rotating brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove all soot and creosote from the flue, smoke chamber, smoke shelf, and firebox. We ensure a no-mess process by controlling dust from start to finish. Finally, we conduct a final review to confirm your chimney is clean and operating safely.
How long will the chimney cleaning appointment take?
A standard professional chimney cleaning appointment typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes. This timeframe allows our technicians to perform a comprehensive and meticulous job, including setting up protective coverings, conducting a preliminary inspection, performing the full sweep of the flue and firebox, and cleaning up the work area completely. If the inspection reveals excessive buildup or a complex issue like an animal nest removal, the process may take slightly longer. We always prioritize thoroughness to ensure your chimney is left in the safest possible condition.
Does a clean chimney improve my fireplace's performance?
Yes, every professional cleaning service we perform includes a thorough visual inspection of all accessible components of your chimney and fireplace. Our trained technicians look for signs of damage such as cracked flue liners, damaged masonry, a faulty damper, or issues with the chimney cap. Identifying these problems early is crucial for preventing more extensive and costly repairs down the line, as well as ensuring the structural integrity and safety of your entire chimney system. If we find any issues, we will document them and provide you with clear recommendations.
Do you inspect the chimney for damage as well?
Yes, our skilled team is fully equipped to service all residential property types. While we are based in Los Angeles, our expertise extends to single-family homes, multi-story houses, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. We have the necessary tools and experience to handle various vent configurations, including those with long, complex runs or rooftop terminations. We assess each situation to apply the safest and most effective cleaning method, ensuring every homeowner can benefit from a safe and efficient dryer vent system, regardless of their dwelling type.
What should I do to prepare for your technician's arrival?
To help our chimney sweep work efficiently, we ask that you prepare the area before our arrival. Please ensure you have not used your fireplace for at least 24-48 hours so it is completely cool. Please clear a 6×6 foot area in front of the fireplace, removing any furniture, decorations, or rugs. Our technicians will lay down their own protective drop cloths, but creating a clear workspace allows them to work more safely and effectively, ensuring we can provide the best possible service while keeping your home spotless.
Will chimney cleaning create a mess in my home?
No, a professional chimney cleaning should never leave a mess. At Double A Service Group, we guarantee a no-mess service. Our technicians are experts in dust control. We use industrial-strength vacuums with HEPA filters running throughout the entire cleaning process to capture all soot and debris. We also use heavy-duty drop cloths and runners to protect your hearth and the surrounding flooring. Our commitment is to leave your home as clean as, or cleaner than, we found it, with the only evidence of our visit being a safe and pristine chimney.
